I’m going on my first France trip to Les Telliats at end of September. What
bait would you recomend I take and what size?
Well Neil, this question has been asked before and Shaun answered the question the last time. Having been to France many times before myself, I would say take the bait that you feel most confident in using in this country.
The fish on virtually every venue in France receive far more pressure than the majority of venues in England. With a large proportion of the commercial fisheries in France having full or atleast constant bookings for around 30 consecutive weeks a year, then it stands to reason that these fish are atleast as wary as the fish we try to catch back home. continue reading…
I’m going to have to get down and dirty with you on this Top Tip. As anglers we come into contact with water every time we fish. Water is the very place that many pathogens (those nasty germs that cause diseases) are at their happiest, just waiting for their next victim to contaminate. Yet it amazes me how careless and sloppy most anglers are when it comes to hygiene while they’re fishing. It’s a case of ‘it will never happen to me’ type scenario. Think so? Think again.
